2、. Theoretical approaches: 1.3. 1. Feminist approach 1.3. 2. Post-colonial approaches,The analysis that dominated the study of literature until the 1930s is usually called the traditional approach, particularly the biographical-historical approach. In this view, the work is informed by the authors

3、beliefs, prejudices, time, and history, and to fully understand the work, we must understand the author and his age.,1.1. The traditional approaches,1.1. Historical Biographical approach,One must know Milton was blind, for instance, for On His Blindness to have any meaning. In this case, The knowled

So, the authors letter, diaries, and essays were combed for evidence of authorial intentions in writing.,Fran

6、orks that are more likely to invite readers to interpret them from the aspect of the broader extrinsic range of social experience. In this case, the authors are likely to be thought as historians, the interpreters of contemporary culture, thinkers of the social life. Charles Dickens: Oliver Twist, D

7、ombey and Son Hawthorne: The Scarlet Letter Daniel Defoe: Robinson Crusoe,with arrival of the New Criticism in 1920s, scholars began to reject biographical-historical approaches But the history seemed to prove that historical-biographical approach refused to be out of the historical stage.,1.1.2 Mor

8、al philosophical approach,Moral-philosophical critics believe that the larger purpose of literature is to teach morality and to probe philosophical issues. They would interpret literature within the context of the philosophical thought of a period.,Example 1 the conflict between the head and heart,

9、mans inhumanity to man in Mark Twains Huckleberry Finn Henry James: The Portrait of the Lady Twain and Henry Jamess works were concerned with the contemporary scene and were exploration of the very basis of social life and values.,Example 2 Moby Dick also frequently invite critics interest in the

10、ir moral meanings: the theme of the sin. Ahabs raging egoism has something in common with the Hubris of Greek tragedy, and still more, in common with the Christian sin of pride Paradise Lost,1.2. The Formalistic approach,1.2.1 The Formalistic approach: new criticism,First, for new criticism, a l

11、iterary work is a timeless and self-sufficient verbal object. All the elements of a text ideally formed a coherent whole both on the formal and the content level. And the meaning must reside within its own structure.,So, it is the critics job to analyze the poetic diction to ascertain such tension.

12、In methodology, New Critical reading pays close attention to individual words, syntax, and the order in which sentences and ideas unfold as they are read.,Example 1,Ezra Pound, In A Station of the Metro: “The apparition of these faces in the crowd, Petals on a wet, black bough.”,In this brief poem,

13、 Pound uses the fewest possible words to convey an accurate image.,With such images as “apparition” and “petals”, the poet tries to render exactly his observation of human faces seen in an underground. The word “apparition” means something which seems real but perhaps is not is not real; something g

14、hostly which can not be clearly observed. He sees the faces, turned variously toward light and darkness, like flower petals which are half absorbed by, half resisting, the wet, dark texture of a bough.,Some novels such as Wuthering Heights and Lord Jim are famous for their narrative technique. In

15、Wuthering Heights, the story is told by two relatively peripheral characters: Nelly Dean, the old family nurse, and Mr. Lockwood, the tenant at Thrushcross Grange. It is traditionally agreed that both Nelly Dean and Mr. Lockwood serve the function of the intermediaries who stand midway between the r

16、eader and the books chief characters.,Example 2,**** Like biographical-historical and moral-philosophical approaches, new criticism is rarely practiced by literary critics. Yet it has left a lasting influence on the way we read and write about literature.,1.3. Theoretical approaches 1.3. 1. Fe

18、ng a thesis statement and outline,At the outset, it is important to remember that writing is a process that begins in uncertainty. Peoples their writing process will follow three basic stages: discovering ideas, creating the early, rough draft of a critical paper, and preparing a finished essay. T

19、he first stage here, discovering ideas, is a phase of pre-writing,2.1. Taking notes,2.1.1. The function of note-taking As a research paper aims to explore, discuss, analyze and finally to find new opinions, so it draws its materials from many sources. The materials of literary research may be divid

20、ed into two sorts, primary and secondary.,The first step to write an academic essay will include both of themthe assembling of writers early response to the literary text itself based on a close reading as well as the collection of the valuable materials about the subject of study from all kinds of

21、reference books or other materials.,The function of reading the criticism is: 1. to enlarge the vision of the essay writer and help him to form his own views; 2. to enable him to get a good idea of the state of current scholarship on his topic and locate his voice in the landscape of the resea

22、rch 3. to provide detailed evidence to back up any argument his wish to make.,2.2. Recording your first responses,Follow the work and understand its details; while at the same time, respond to the words, get at the ideas, and understand the implications of what is happening.,Two steps: The first

23、reading: to highlight or annotate certain things, such as passages that you consider significant. The second reading: to annotate the text and to jot down notes, not necessarily focusing on a specific topic, but rather taking account of your early responses to the work.,2. 3. Arriving at an idea of

24、 interest and finding a topic Whatever the type of essay in literature, each will require you to develop an argument about a particular aspect of the literary text.,An important way to discover ideas about a work is to raise questions you find in your reading and then to try to answer them by exa
